-One scholarship. One boy. Another boy? True love? Is that wrong? A boy and a boy? No, because one of the boys is Kristen Gregory and she is disguised as a boy to be accepted into her dream school.-
A/N: Heyy! So new story alert! Deal With It is based off of Zoey Dean's Talent. In the book, a character auditions for a movie "Deal With It" and the movie is about a girl disguised as a boy so she can get into her dream boarding school. Well, I won't say too much, but let's just say there's a love story around this. As I hope you can already guess, Kristen is the boy. But who is the guy?
I just "borrowed" this idea from Zoey Dean and I hope you like it!
DISCLAIMER: blah, blah, blah. I don't own. Yadayadaya. Zoey Dean owns her new series Talent and Lisi Harrison owns the Clique series. :)

Deal With It!
What is wrong with me? Why can't I be appreciative and not so upset? I live in a great city, I have the best parents I could dream of, I have ah-mazing friends, I shop in the highest quality stores, I go to one of the best boarding schools in the country, and I have the cutest boyfriend ever.
"Hey Kristen, why so sad? I mean c'mon, we're the alphas of the greatest school ever." Massie asked concerned.
"Well, I dunno. My parents are getting annoying, I guess?" I answered.
I live in the Brickview Apartment, but it doesn't matter so much to me. My parents do give me a budget, unlike every other teenage girl in the city, but it doesn't bug me. I still live pretty modestly.
"Kris, we drop you off here? You live ini the Brickview Apartment??" Dylan spat.
"Yea, but whatevs. I like it here, it's cool." I answered.
Soccer is my entire life. It fills my lungs, and keeps my legs skinny and athletic. When I kick that black and white ball into the wide white net, I feel power and blast into my heart and body. I play on the OCD Sirens, and I wouldn't do anything else. My boyfriend, friends' crushes, and soccer buddies, live outside the glamorous world, they live inside my athletic life, afterschool where social status doesn't mean anything.
"Hey, don't you have to go shopping with the PC today afterschool?" Cam Fisher asked.
"Nah. I'm here for soccer and soccer only. I couldn't possibly skip practice. I only go like 3 times a week!"
"Yea! Our captain ditches her infamous PC for the Sirens team, that's definitely progress." Some LBR soccer defender on the Sirens said.
I also wouldn't stand anywhere without education. School and my brain live inside me. They are the breathing air that goes in and out. Education goes into my brain and processes everything else. So what if I'm on a scholarship at OCD? I don't have the most money in the world, but whatever, right? I can live off my brains and brawns and still be the most popular girl ever. But running a fast mile, is a good addition too. :)
"Uuuuggghhh, can you believe it Kris? I got a B- on that last math test! I have like a 3.2 now!" Alicia complained.
"Seriously? That was super easy. I got an A+. And by the way, after one test, you can't have 3.2! Oh, and did you study at all?" I replied.
"Nope. I was shopping on BCBG online. What did you do?" Alicia said happily.
"Well, that explains it." Kristen muttered.
"What did you say?" She snapped.
And last but not least, my sweet, boyfriend. He's the captain of the Briarwood soccer team, Tomahawks. He's cute, tall, HART, and ah-mazingly the best ever. I seriously don't know where my S.S. (social status) would go, if I wasn't dating him. OH, well, he's mine to take and keep. Except, I don't deserve him. Not at all.
"Hey sweetie. You wanna share a large sundae on the beach front, with a romantic sunset? My treat, and we can talk all about you." Davey Wintwar said sweetly. He was the new guy at BOCD, and we've been "dating" for 8 weeks. Except, he was a much better boyfriend than I was being a girlfriend the past 2 weeks. I was being the depressed one in the relationship, and he was my comfort.
"Uhh.. no thanks. I gotta do homework." I muttered.
"Are you sure? Well, we could go tomorrow or any other day this week. I'm leaving for vacation next week, so I won't see you for another month or so after that." He smiled at me with the sweetest teeth ever..
"Sorry, no. I'm just wayy too busy." I replied. "Gotta go, cya later."
I ran ahead to my house from school, and left behind the best thing I'd ever had. I left behind the cutest boyfriend ever, who was now confused and crying.
When I opened the door to my house, my mom was standing in the kitchen, glaring me down, and in her hand, was the letter I'd been waiting for since last summer.
"Heyy Mom." I tried to say casually.
"Hello." She replied. I couldn't tell if she was mad or happy at me.
"Whatcha got there?" I asked, pointing to the letter in her hand.
"Well, it looks like a letter from the Kahla Boarding School in Hawaii. And it's addressed to Kristopher Gregory. Funny, there's no Kristopher in our Gregory family, who lives in this house." She tapped her fingers as if trying to figure out what's going on, but I know she knows what I did.
"Look at that. I wonder how that got here. Hmm.. can I take a look?" I tried to grab it out of her hands, but she pulled back and I almost stumbled.
"Before you can give a complete explanation, I want to know why you are PRETENDING TO BE A BOY TO BE ACCEPTED INTO A CRAPPY BOARDING SCHOOL. I'VE HEARD OF KAHLA, IT'S NOT EVEN AN APPROPIATE PLACE TO BE. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" My mother went from calm to completely out of control!
"I—I—can—well—explain—maybe—kinda—crazy—but—I'm—sorry!!" I stumbled with my words, and just decided to cry in front of her to try to soften her.
"Let's see what the letter says, yes?" I was surprised she even wanted to see what the headmaster said, I thought she would just shred it up before my eyes.
The moment I'd been waiting for 12 months was happening right now, in front of my mom, while I was crying. This isn't how it's supposed to go!
She scanned the letter, and handed it to me. I held and read it with such care, like I was holding a newborn baby.
As I read it, I could see the disappointment in her eyes, the anger building up. I could tell she was just waiting for me to finish, so she could burst! I had about 2 minutes before she would kill me (not literally) so I read quickly. But I couldn't help smile as I read.
